Subject:  one more "dilemma!" (Italy)


Thanks to all for listening...but here I go again.

I did an Italy program through my school last summer. it involved learning
the language through immersion, study with coaches from the Rossini opera
festival,2 one hour lessons a week, and performance in a few concerts.

I had the option of going this year, again. However, money was (and is) a
large issue. It costs around 3500 to go.
I am still paying off last year's trip!
I applied for a grant which was going to cover the cost of this summer's
trip, but was denied. My teacher, also the coordinator of this program,
found a few ways to get some, but not all, of the money I would need to go.
She was not done finding funds for me, when my parents and I talked and they
told me it would be better than I come home and work....the trip is pricey,
and besides, I already did this program.
My teacher was disappointed I would not be going, as I would be one of the
older ones in the group with more experience who would be representing the
group. Not only that, I planned on helping her out with the group.

I am torn. I don't want to place any more finanicial strain on my family,
but I also know that if I went I would have more rep learned, and my voice
would be sounding a lot better when I came back.

Any ideas? Should I call my voice teacher and talk to her again?

Thanks,

Molly
